It's probably the single funniest movie ever made, that's "the hell is the deal with it."bune wrote:What the hell is the deal with Wet Hot American Summer? I think I laughed maybe four times. No one in the movie was likeable and everyone was an asshole. Is it because almost everyone in the movie is famous now and I'm used to them? Would it have been better if I watched it upon release?

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
1. Please define "over the top" directing.durdencommatyler wrote:Castaway is fine if like over the top directing and a one of kind performance. Tom Hanks makes that movie. Everything else about it is stupid. There's literally a 20 minute montage of a camera ON A FEDEX PACKAGE. Zemeckis is insane.LoathedVermin72 wrote:BTTF is fine but Cast Away is the true Zemeckis masterpiece.

I mean, I wouldn't pay for that performance either.Development[edit]
The film's financing took three years to assemble; in a June 2011 interview, Wain revealed the film's budget was $1.8 million; he noted that during the 2001 Sundance Film Festival,[6] the film had been promoted as costing $5 million, in an attempt to attract a better offer from a distributor.[1] Because of the film's relatively small budget, the cast was paid very little; Paul Rudd has stated that he is uncertain that he received any compensation at all for the film.[7]
